    Cost of Living Updates

    You're mistaken, the earnings limit for Pension Credit (£182.60) is lower than the current full State Pension (£185.15). It is also means-tested so an estimated million pensioners who would otherwise qualify don't receive it for one reason or another.

    Cost of Living Updates

    Cost of Living Updates

    While those on Pension Credit or Universal Credit will get £650 in cash, even if they've never paid a national insurance stamp in their lives. That's in addition to all the other discounts and payments they automatically qualify for.

    Things that annoy you

    Facebook sent me SIX separate email notifications between five and ten this evening and when I finally logged-in they turned out to concern a single post by a friend on his own timeline of no importance to me whatsoever. :mad:

    Solar panels

    Battery packs make more financial sense, if you can recharge at off-peak rate. Payback period is 4-5 years. Don't try making your own though, I've seen some really dangerous setups on YouTube from people who should know better.
